The Apollo Lunar Missions were a series of spaceflights conducted by NASA between 1961 and 1972, aimed at landing humans on the Moon and bringing them safely back to Earth. The most famous mission, Apollo 11, successfully landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface in July 1969, marking the first time humans walked on the Moon. In total, there were six successful lunar landings, with Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17 following Apollo 11. These missions provided valuable scientific data, samples of lunar rock, and insights into the Moon's geology, significantly advancing our understanding of space exploration.
